Want I want to do is have an image playing normaly then at a given point swap round and start playing back towards the start. Eg somone drops a plate then it 'magicaly' jumps back into their hand.

So basically the time code form the original sample would play like this 1 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 1

Is this possible ? (I've got adobe premier pro 2.0 but I don't think I have any add-ons

thanks.

Razor at the point you want the forward action to stop > left click the part of the timeline you want to play backwards > right click on that part of the timeline > select Speed/Duration > put a - (minus) sign in front of the 100% and that should do the trick

In addition to that procedure, in APP2 you can also click a little box that reverses the speed and I think the duration aswell (as long as the link is pressed in). Looks like a number 8 up near the top right corner.
